Gaudi Forest

Gaudi’s organic style of architecture originates from early childhood experiences. The interior of the Sagrada Familia which is now finished is described to be a forest like experience.

However the work still continues outside and is now estimated to be finished 2026 earliest. The work is dividing opinion since the purists are claiming that it is no longer representative to Gaudi’s original thinking. The challenge has always been the huge technical requirements.

The fascinating details of Gaudi’s thinking are evident everywhere. For example here the capital of the column in the central nave is the element in transition between the trunk and the branches of this “tree”.
